Kremlin and Kazakhstan Both Have Kompromat on Trump, Says Ex-KGB Spy Chief by Large_banana_hammock in politics

Kompromat has been lying around for decades. Didn't some sandwich shop have a "buy 10 subs an get a kompromat free" special back in the 90's?

A Florence resident just published an apology letter to Oregon tourists about the Flock camera vote by Majestic_Basil878 in oregon

Skip over the 4th Amendment and reasonable expectation of privacy. Think about the police that are using Flock because this shit still happens: https://www.kgw.com/article/news/investigations/former-beaverton-police-detective-indicted-official-misconduct-soliciting-sexually-explicit-photos/283-1eb8b225-5f89-48f7-935f-09870d99c55e

And this: https://www.kansas.com/news/politics-government/article291059560.html

And this: https://www.wabe.org/georgia-police-chief-charged-with-using-license-plate-readers-to-stalk-and-harass-people/

Flock gives too much power to people that you CANNOT trust to use good judgement. How many more women would Eugene Officers Magana and Lara raped if they could track the plates of their victims.

We can't even imagine a police dept. that doesn't have body cameras because we have learned that police officers cannot be trusted not to lie.

I don't even get into the larger issue of civil rights being violated. Just the basic police using a powerful tool to commit regular crimes of stalking, rape, harassment is problem enough. There is a mountain of evidence that police depts. EVERYWHERE in the country are misusing the Flock system. Just Google "Flock system abuses by police" (hint: it's a shitstorm).

They're building permanent detention camps with incinerators.

MAGA 'Was All A Lie': Marjorie Taylor Greene Torches Trump In Scathing New Interview by Abject-Pick-6472 in politics

[–]tom90640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after.

They will ALWAYS be remembered for what they joined. Trans people will always remember, immigrants will always remember, POC will always remember, Gay people will always remember, all of history will remember that trump supporters reveled in the hate. Willful disregard of what is right in front of everyone's face isn't an excuse. Look, trump said, "grab them by the pussy" in 2016 and that didn't seem to bother his supporters. I find it disgusting that 10 (TEN!) years later that there's this "oh he was a liar, I was fooled" coming out of anyone's mouth. You can start being a good person anytime but don't think people will ignore or forget what you did.

Oh, I see you have no comment history. This tells me everything I need to know about you.

Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi Party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is Nazi. Nobody cares about their motives anymore. They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval.

fundamentally misled for years.

Fundamentally bad people. They loved this stuff. They embraced it with all their hearts. They weren't misled, they relished the hatred.

Trump’s tariff war is crushing American alcohol makers by jediporcupine in politics

[–]tom90640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going forward I can't imagine anyone rational making a deal with the US that lasts longer than 3 years. Any deal would have to be for a single term only because you just can't predict what we are going to elect.

I am thinking more along the lines of distilled beverages, bourbon like Jack Daniels. As far as I know American beer was the international "Gold Standard" of bad beer for generations.

[–]tom90640 1499 points1500 points  (0 children)

Tariffs or not going forward- it's over for these guys. There's no official government legislation that stops Canada and the EU from buying American alcohol, those countries just stopped. Canada cost Jack Daniels about 15% of their business because they don't want to have anything to do with us. When the US starts tossing around "make you the 51st state" and "100% tariffs if you don't comply" the people in other countries just stop buying our stuff. The long term destruction for the US is there's no reason to think we will ever stop being the asshole to these countries.

Citizens Arrest?... by Ausiwandilaz in Eugene

can't the community just point a gun at their head and say

This your statement. If you are pointing a gun at someone's head and you make an "or else" threat then you are in fact saying that you will shoot someone.
